hard to love

chapter 111

"Opie is my kid gonna be okay?" Tig asked watching her in the back yard with the twins. Him and Opie sitting on the back porch.

"Yeah. She's strong as hell. I think it's just hard with this bullshit because of the kids. She's scared she's going to lose them or they'll have to grow up without her."

"If it's the last thing I do I will make sure neither happens. She said yall were done you going to accept that?" Tig asked trying to see if Opie knew what his head was telling him.

"I have to be. I've put her through so much and none of it was even worth losing her. I just thought she would always forgive me and be there. I don't know why maybe I've always just sabotaged us and hurt her before she could me. We've talked and despite all the bullshit I've done and everything that's happened we're still friends. We coparent great and will make sure the kids still have our family."

Taylor felt like she could finally breathe again. She couldn't take her eyes off her babies. Her babies, they had so much trauma in their short lives already she wanted to keep them in a bubble and take away any pain they felt.

"Mama." Her daughter said softly.

"Yes my love."

"Are you okay?" "Yeah ma, it's okay to not be okay."

She smiled and her kids and pulled them into her arms "I am okay. I got a little hurt but mama is good guys. I'm just so happy to be back home with you guys. I love you both so very much." She kissed all over their faces making them giggle.

"Here comes the tickle monster!" She yelled as she started tickling them and chased them "im going to catch you and get all the tickles and laughs." She growled out.

Tig stepped on the back porch and watched his baby play with her babies. He had never felt so content. All of his people were back in charming, safe. His family wasn't fully back together but maybe that would happen in time, if not he could accept it. He laughed to himself as Taylor acted like a dinosaur running with the twins.

"Hey old man." Taylor huffed out as she came to stop in front of him.

"Im not that old little miss." He snapped poking her side making her jump and laugh. "If I'm old so are you."

"I feel old."

"I know baby. I'm sorry for everything."

"Thank you. I will survive, always have."

"Im also sorry for that. You shouldn't have to survive you should be able to be living. Happily." Taylor side eyed him. "I love having you three back here but maybe you'll be safer away from here... aways from me." Tig admitted looking down.

"No. I've already done that, no away from you but away from here, didn't make a difference. It's not you dad, it's just life. We're here to stay."

Tig laughed "You can spread your wings you know, go fly, be free."

"Spread my wings? I think I already didn't that. I'll cut my wings off and stay here. Thanks for giving me permission."

The both laughed. Tig still confuse Don what his mind already knew but he wasn't ready to accept it. Happy and his daughter was not happening.

The guys were at Cara Cara checking in on Luann since she's having problems with gerogie Caruso again.

"Dont worry, we'll go have a chat with him." Jax told her as they all walked out.

Tig was checking out one of the girls when Ima walked up to Happy.

"Can i get a ride? Im scared of that freak coming after me." She whined as she reached out for his arm but he moved it away.

"Touch me and I'll kill you." He grumbled before stepping away glaring.

Ima pouted on the back of Juices bike the ride to TM. She hated that Taylor was back in Charming, it was her fault none of the bikers would take her seriously. She would make a damn good old lady and be able to retire as a porn star. She wanted Happy.
